For the first scenario:
1. Mahesh's capital: ₹50,000 + ₹10,000 (loan) = ₹60,000
2. Ramesh's capital: ₹50,000 + ₹60,000 (capital) = ₹110,000
3. Total capital = ₹60,000 + ₹110,000 = ₹170,000
4. Interest on Mahesh's loan = ₹10,000 * 10% * 3/12 = ₹250 (annually, it's 6% for 3 months)
5. Divisible profit = ₹15,200 - ₹250 = ₹14,950
6. Each partner's share of profit = ₹14,950 / 2 = ₹7,475
For the second scenario:
1. X's capital: ₹80,000
2. Y's capital: ₹60,000
3. X's salary: ₹600 * 12 = ₹7,200
4. Y's commission: ₹5,000
5. Interest on X's capital = ₹80,000 * 10% = ₹8,000
6. Interest on Y's capital = ₹60,000 * 10% = ₹6,000
7. Transfer to Reserve Fund: ₹3,000
8. Divisible profit = ₹49,400 - (X's salary + Y's commission + Interest on X's capital + Interest on Y's capital + Transfer to Reserve Fund) = ₹49,400 - (₹7,200 + ₹5,000 + ₹8,000 + ₹6,000 + ₹3,000) = ₹20,200
9. X's share of profit = ₹20,200 * (₹80,000 / ₹140,000) = ₹11,514.29
10. Y's share of profit = ₹20,200 * (₹60,000 / ₹140,000) = ₹8,685.71
